Night Owl (Night Owl #1) by M. Pierce

At twenty-eight, Matt Sky has the perfect life. He has a beautiful girlfriend, a massive inheritance, and four national bestsellers -- all penned under his airtight alias, M. Pierce.

At twenty-seven, Hannah Catalano is a train wreck. Her boyfriend is a deadbeat and her job is abysmal.

Matt and Hannah meet online as writing partners. Their relationship is safe, anonymous, and innocent...

Until Matt sees a picture of Hannah. Hannah's picture sparks an attraction Matt is powerless to ignore. When circumstance brings Matt and Hannah together, the strangers begin a love story that's passionate, poignant, unforgettable, and unstoppable.

MrsNorthman's Review

"I never want to learn how to say goodbye."Matt and Hannah's story was so unexpected! I really love how this unique story unfolded.

Little Bird and Night Owl meet in a chat room and become anonymous writing partners. They have an agreement that they won't share anything personal, just words. Until Little Bird makes a mistake. She accidently sends Matt an email from her personal account, which consists of her full name and a little thumbnail picture. It's enough to get Matt's attention and for the obsession to begin. There is constant contact, getting one another off and talks of meeting in person.

When they finally do it's electric. Matt and Hannah have this intense, compulsive need for one another that can't be explained. Together they just make sense and it's extremely HOT! Sure Matt can be degrading at times and he doesn't always say the right things, but there is something that is so mesmerizing about him. Every time he called Hannah his little bird, it made me melt.

Matt is complicated to say the least. He's extremely successful and values his anonymity more than anything. So he keeps his identity a secret from Hannah, even though she is a huge M. Peirce fan! It was cute how she was so close to piecing it together. When she finds out the truth, all bets are off and we get to see the true Matt. It really explains why he is the way he is. It's heartbreaking, but cements the fact that they need one another. That they belong together.

"I felt something since we met, since we first started writing together. It was like I had loved you without knowing you, and the love was in me, waiting to happen."

I've seen this book around and I'm kicking myself for not having read it sooner. I loved everything about it, especially Matt and his dirty mouth. The epilogue left me a little confused, but dying to pick up the next book.
